Ultimate Gourmet Grilled Cheese image

This gourmet grilled cheese is loaded with herbed caramelized onions, gooey gruyere and white cheddar cheeses, and is cooked in a savory rosemary butter!

Provided by The Chunky Chef

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 slices good quality bread (I used thick cut Artisan bread)
Mayonnaise (for spreading)
12 oz Gruyere cheese (sliced thinly OR grated, at room temperature)
6 oz White cheddar cheese (sliced thinly OR grated, at room temperature)
4 slices thin Muenster cheese (at room temperature)
2 yellow onions (diced)
1 tsp fresh thyme (minced)
2 tsp fresh rosemary (minced, divided)
1 tsp brown sugar
Salt and pepper (to taste)
3 Tbsp butter (divided)
1 Tbsp olive oil

Steps:

  • Add 1 1/2 Tbsp butter and olive oil to a skillet and heat over MED-LOW heat. Add diced onions, salt, pepper, fresh thyme and 1 tsp of fresh rosemary to the hot skillet and saute, stirring often, until onions are soft and starting to brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir brown sugar into the onions and cook another minute.
  • Transfer onions to a plate.
  • Spread one side of two pieces of bread with a little bit of mayonnaise.
  • To the same skillet, add remaining butter and rosemary, and heat over MED heat. Swirl to coat the bottom of the skillet with the melted butter.
  • Add both pieces of bread, mayonnaise side down, and cook until bread is golden brown and crunchy, about 2-3 minutes.
  • As soon as you add the bread to the skillet, add a bit of cheese to the top of each piece of bread. Once it starts to melt a little, sprinkle a couple tablespoons of the caramelized onions over the top of one of the pieces of bread.
  • When the bread is good and golden brown, sandwich the pieces of bread together and cook on LOW until cheese is fully melted.
  • Transfer to a plate, repeat with remaining slices of bread and ingredients.
  • Slice and enjoy!

ULTIMATE GRILLED CHEESE



Ultimate Grilled Cheese image

Provided by Ina Garten

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 slices thick-cut bacon, such as Nodine's applewood smoked
1 cup good mayonnaise
1/4 cup dijon mustard
1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 white pullman loaf or sourdough bread, sliced 1/2-inch thick (12 slices)
6 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
6 ounces aged gruyere or comte cheese
6 ounces extra-sharp cheddar, such as Cabot or Shelburne Farms

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange the bacon on a baking rack set over a sheet pan in a single layer and roast for 20 to 30 minutes, until nicely browned. Drain on a plate lined with paper towels and cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, mustard, parmesan, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Lay 12 slices of bread on a board and spread each one lightly with butter. Flip the slices and spread each one generously with the mayonnaise mixture. Don't neglect the corners!
  • Grate the cheeses in a food processor fitted with the largest grating disk and combine. Distribute the bacon evenly on half of the slices of bread. Pile 1/3 cup grated cheese evenly on top of the bacon and top with the remaining bread slices, sauce-side down.
  • Meanwhile, heat an electric panini press. When the press is hot, cook the sandwiches for 3 to 5 minutes in batches until the bread is toasted and the cheese is melted. Allow to cool for 2 minutes. Cut in half and serve warm.
